I’m not sure if any other legislative bodies on the State or Federal level have this sort of ban, but the Missouri Senate has, for at least the fourth time in the last seven years, rejected a proposal to allow laptops in the Senate chambers. Interesting, there’s no ban (though it’s been tried) on cell phones, PDAs, Blackberry … nor is there a ban in the Missouri House (since 1997). In the Senate, reporters and staff members are allowed to carry laptops.
